    The death penalty is declining across the country. Of the D presidential candidates, only Biden supports it. But OR’s Governor, @OregonGovBrown, is calling a special session that could re-EXPAND its use. She should commute death row instead. We don’t need another Biden in Oregon.

        Don't know. In cases of mass shootings or where there is overwhelming witnesses or video evidence. I'm for it. Just not the 10 year wait on death row.

        TODAY in USA w/ MAX security prisons that NO ONE can get out of(unless someone lets them out)=we could make legal argument that such is "cruel". I feel highest penalty USA GOV should give is LIFE IN PRISON w/inmates OPTION to choose death in lieu of prison.(Dr assisted suicide)

        We just gotta execute everyone who’s been proven guilty and is on death row. It’s more cruel to put people through this phycological hardship as it is. Like either do it or don’t. But don’t just make them wait. I know if it were me I’d go crazy with the back and forth.

        It doesn't work like that for a reason. Check out some stories about death row inmates getting released because of new evidence.

        That’s a lie! @JoeBiden spoke out the same time other Democrats did about how the death penalty was wrong.

        WTF? This was in August: 'Gov. Kate Brown on Thursday signed a bill that represents the first major legislative restriction to Oregon’s death penalty since 1984, when voters amended the constitution to include capital punishment.'https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2019/08/calling-death-penalty-costly-and-immoral-governor-signs-bill-limiting-its-use.html …

        I think this is wrongly framed, Shaun. @OregonGovBrown signed a bill to restrict the death penalty, but it appears to need fixing, as it had unintended consequences. Just read on this now:https://fox26medford.com/gov-brown-calls-for-special-session-to-address-death-penalty/ …

        Ur info is misleading. She isn’t removing the moratorium on the death penalty. They have gotten rid of it for future cases. The 31 people currently on death row in Oregon will never be put to death by a DEM. Please get your facts straight

        Keep capital punishment in place. The death penalty is a punishment that fits the crime of murder; it is neither ‘cruel’ nor ‘unusual.’ Executing a murderer is the appropriate punishment for taking an innocent life.

        If more of those sentenced to death only would have resisted arrest maybe we wouldn't have this issue.
